@Leo GuraBook is not 100 dollars...it is 800

We can all agree that is no sense to pay for it at this price.

Still, i would prefer ebook instead of this.... cheaper and more economic in many ways.

@abrakamowse not the same book

@Natura Sonoris It is pretty pricey for a book.  I wish I could help.  Best of luck finding what you are looking for! 

[Natura Sonoris]

@Annetta The another problem is that i can not even order 62 dollar one... They do not ship outside of US

The book I have suggested is from an enlightened master, it is more valuable, if you are a real seeker of truth.

[Guest Annetta]

@Natura Sonoris There are a few different sellers:  https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00A1824DW/ref=tmm_other_meta_binding_used_olp_sr?ie=UTF8&condition=used&qid=1495672527&sr=1-1

Perhaps one of them would ship to your country?

[Natura Sonoris]

@Annetta @Annetta

Tried them all except for 2k copies. None ships...

@Annetta I have provided the link you can download it for free, you should know perspective of an enlightened master too.

Excerpts from the Book :

We enter on a rare pilgrimage. The Ten Bulls of Zen are something unique in the history of human
consciousness. Truth has been expressed in many ways, and it has always been found that it
remains unexpressed whatsoever you do. Howsoever you express it, it eludes, it is elusive. It simply
escapes description. The words that you use for it cannot contain it. And the moment you have
expressed, immediately you feel frustrated as if the essential has been left behind and only the
nonessential has been expressed. The Ten Bulls of Zen have tried in a single effort to express the
inexpressible. So first, something about the history of these ten bulls.

Basically, there were eight pictures, not ten; and they were not Buddhist, they were Taoist. Their
beginning is lost. Nobody knows how they started, who painted the first bulls. But in the twelfth
century a Chinese Zen master, Kakuan, repainted them; and not only that, he added two more
pictures, and eight became ten. The Taoist pictures were ending on the eighth; the eighth is
emptiness, nothingness. But Kakuan added two new pictures. That is the very contribution of
Zen to religious consciousness.

When one moves on an inner journey one leaves the world, renounces all that hinders the path,
renounces all that is nonessential so that the essential can be searched, sought. One tries to
become unburdened so the journey can become easier, because the journey, this journey, is towards
the height, the greatest height there is – the very pinnacle of human possibilities, the very climax.
One leaves the world, one renounces the world; not only the world – one renounces the mind,
because the mind is the cause of the whole world. The world of desires, the world of possessions,
is just the outer part. The inner part is the mind: the desiring mind, the lustful mind, the jealous,
competitive mind, the mind full of thoughts; that is the seed.

One renounces the outer, one renounces the inner, one becomes empty – that’s what meditation
is all about. One becomes totally empty. But is this the end? The Taoist pictures ended with
nothingness. Kakuan says this is not the end – one comes back to the world, one comes back to the
marketplace; only then is the circle complete. Of course, one comes totally new. One never comes
with the old; the old is gone, gone forever. One comes totally renewed, resurrected, reborn – as if
this man had never gone; as if this man is coming totally fresh and virgin. One comes back to the
world and again one lives in the world yet lives beyond it. Again one becomes ordinary – chopping
wood, carrying water from the well, walking, sitting, sleeping – one becomes absolutely ordinary.
Deep inside, the emptiness remains uncorrupted. One lives in the world but the world is not in your
mind, the world is not within you. One lives untouched, like a lotus flower.

@Prabhaker seriously thank you. This is great

[Guest Annetta]

@Natura Sonoris That's so lame!
@Prabhaker That's really interesting!  I'll read it for sure.  I like how the last paragraph is worded it sounds very freeing. 

[Loreena]

@Prabhaker Feel to sleep in your arms. Complete bliss. 

[Prabhaker]

@Loreena  Meditation is rest, absolute rest, a full stop to all activity - physical, mental, emotional. The key word is rest, relaxation.

[Loreena]

@Prabhaker Does being in the company of an expert meditator like you help ?

Yes , Spirituality is very contagious but real transformation happens in presence of an enlightened master, if you are open and receptive. 

In the East, we have developed a science: if you cannot find a soul mate, you can create one. And that science is Tantra.
